In the world of live entertainment, there exists a unique and enchanting art form that's been delighting audiences for centuries – pantomimes. With their dazzling costumes, witty humour and interactive elements, pantos are a magical experience that captivates the young and old alike.

This year, Blue Phoenix Productions – the team behind Ashford Pantomime – is bringing the timeless fairy tale Cinderella to the stage at The Rylance Theatre in Ashford between 15th and 30th December.

So, if you’re looking for some first-class family entertainment to get into the Christmas spirit, book your tickets ahead of time to ensure you don’t miss out, and prepare to enter a realm where dreams come true, pumpkins turn into carriages and glass slippers fit like destiny!

Meet Cinderella, a kind-hearted soul trapped in a life of drudgery by her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. But don't despair; Cinderella's enchanting Fairy Godmother is here to work her magic. With a wave of her wand, the ordinary becomes extraordinary!

Watch Cinderella's rags transform into the most breathtaking ballgown and her humble pumpkin morph into a royal carriage. As the clock strikes midnight, join the hunt for Cinderella as the prince scours the kingdom for the owner of a lost glass slipper…

Filled with humour, heartfelt moments and plenty of audience participation, this Cinderella pantomime is a rollercoaster of emotions and a festive treat for the whole family. Holly Harvey takes to the lead role as Cinderella and Robbie White from Netflix’s Heartstopper plays the handsome Prince Charming.
